Cost
Water
Depending on climatic region, natural precipitation sometimes does not
provide the necessary irrigation to maintain a lawn, so the additional cost
of irrigation must be considered in the cost of the lawn. Certain studies
estimate that 30% of water consumed on the East Coast is used for watering
lawns and 60% on the West Coast.3
Products
There is a vast industry of products developed to help attain a green lawn,
including fertilizers, mowers, herbicides, pesticides, etc., etc. According
to a survey in North Carolina,
homeowners spent an average of $407 on their lawns per year. $158 was due
to maintenance expenses, and the other $249 was for equipment.
